When do they 'shake', at a certain speed or when braking?

[dyte]

when you go above 40mph ish its not a major shake just feels a bit wobbly

i would of thought wheel balance

[TonyN]

If the tyres are physically Ok then you shouldn't get any wobbles, and thye should balance OK as well.

This is the first thing to get done, as tyres wear they need rebalancing.

If this doesn't fix it look at the steering idler arm, steering stabiliser, wheel bearings and all the ball joints on the suspension and steering system.

[dyte]

[dyte]

another thing was how often should i be greesing me nipples on the prop shaft

[TonyN]

Yearly is Ok, 6 months is great. Unless you do a lot of towing or offroading then you want to do it more frequently.
